The Josephine Herrick Project is a nonprofit that enlists photographic community volunteers to educate students who have not had the opportunity to learn the communicative power of photography. Through partnerships with local organizations, JHProject’s completely free programs inspire children, teens, adults and seniors with the visual language of photography, enhancing their abilities to transform communities through artistic vision.

YOUTH IN FOCUS

Photography can change your life. If you have the same belief, then now is the time to put it into action. Youth In Focus is having their annual fund-raising auction on Saturday, April 14th.

I have donated a print to help raise some money and support this great organization. There is a long list of other noteworthy photographers and supporters that are also contributing to the event. Students work will surprise you and will also be available at the auction. Visit Youth In Focus and sign up for a great evening of photography and community.

Blue Earth’s first project was “The Living Wild”. Since then they have helped photographers create many socially and environmentally critical works. This is a great event that supports Blue Earth and you could walk away with a great piece of art by one of the many talented photographers.
